Agenda Item 4.a.
Dear City Council,
Hello, I own and am representing Antigua Brewing Company in downtown San Luis Obispo.
While I would like to be in line with Downtown SLO’s Board of Directors in support of Option B of
the Parking Rate Study recommendations presented by Dixon Unlimited, I am not.
While I understand that this option offers a "solution" that fits the goals of the council, I do not
believe it meets the needs of the downtown businesses and community members of SLO. I
understand that the options for adjustments to the parking rates were extremely limited by the
city's incredible spending commitments. Failure to consider curtailing the spending as part of the
efforts to return to an accessible and vibrant downtown is a huge mistake that I cannot support.
Though I appreciate that Option B is the best of the three options we were provided to choose
from, I am unable to fully support this option because it is wholly inadequate.
Sincerely,
Bambi Banys
Antigua Brewing Company
